In March 2015, President Barack Obama told CBS News that he did not know Hillary Clinton used a private email system when she served as secretary of state and claimed he learned about it from the news just like everybody else. Well, Wikileaks posted an email that proves otherwise:
This was in March 2015. He repeated the same thing to 60 minutes in October 2015.
Bill Plante: Mr. President, when did you first learn Hillary Clinton used an email system outside of the US government for official business while she was secretary of state?Obama: The same time when everyone else learned about it through news reports.
Then, in October 2015, Obama said the exact same thing during a 60 minutes interview and said the email server did not pose as a national security threat.
Steve Kroft: Did you know about Hillary Clinton’s use of private email server–President Barack Obama: No.Steve Kroft: –while she was Secretary of State?President Barack Obama: No.Steve Kroft: Do you think it posed a national security problem?President Barack Obama: I don’t think it posed a national security problem….
Here’s the deal. On September 23, the FBI released over 200 pages of its interview notes from the Hillary email investigation. It revealed that Obama used a pseudonym in his emails to Hillary. Aide Huma Abedin told the FBI the president can only receive emails FROM APPROVED ADDRESSES. They had to inform the White House when Hillary changed her private email address so that way her communications would get through the server.
He knew Hillary’s email address was not a state.gov address. It doesn’t take a genius to know that her private email address was therefore on a separate server.
Today, Wikileaks dumped more emails from Hillary’s campaign chair John Podesta’s email address. Included in the batch is an email from Hillary aide Josh Schwerin to Hillary’s communications aide Jennifer Palmieri about a tweet by Katherine Miller on March 7 that questioned Obama’s claims he only found out about the email system through the media.
So not only did he know about it, but he went on national television TWICE and lied to the American people.
